Happy New Year everyone
2024 opens with many challenges for most.
Following the discussion on one of the housing threads I feel that there is
a great deal more that needs to be considered by everyone who chooses to live
in western society. Getting a job is generally the first consideration after we finish
our education at what ever level we wish to or are able to attain.
Our aims are to live comfortably.
Own a home, have a family , enjoy the best quality of life we can including all
many of the toys — then retire comfortably enjoying the fruits of our endeavour.
But from experience most don’t consider what they need for retirement
Forced or chosen.
Further often they under estimate what they will need particularly a couple.
So very very few will attain all. Statistically under 5% ( depending on your
opinion of what financial independence is particularly after 10 or so years
of retirement)
These are questions which need serious consideration
Not just pontification but answers —- better still a blueprint.
So how much do we need and how do we get there ?
With housing being unobtainable to many disposable retirement income
is nothing but an impossibility.
To some it will prove to be correct.
But to others it will be possible in fact I believe most —- with a well thought out
blueprint —- you can have it all but not without effort And thinking well out of
your square.
I have a blueprint which I’ll present including the why and how (Many know
I have a lot of property BUT the blueprint goes well beyond that.)
I encourage those here who are living or organising their blueprint to take part
in this thread. You wouldn’t have found your way to ASF unless you wanted to
invest in your financial future! So let’s help build the future we all want our selves
and our families to live.
Let’s make 2024 the start for some and the continuation for others to financial
freedom .
